Analysis of main tourist destinations i) The average expenditure in UK compared with Europe and Asia Within European Union (EU), standard of living is relatively high in UK’ and thementioned country is significantly ahead of the France, Italy and Spain. Further, by thecomparison of visitor coming to the country (tourist arrivals) and also the income generators(tourist receipts) an analysis of UK with destinations of Asia and Europe can be made. Further, from the below given figure of International tourist arrivals, it is clear evidentnumber of tourist arrivals has been increased in the year 2014 as compared to 2013. The numberof visitors raised to 32.6 million which was earlier in 203 at 31.1 million. It generally signals thepopularity of UK as a point of tourist destination and it is significantly heighten day by day.Moreover, UK having excellent global connectivity, high living standards, better health andeducation services. Further, these mentioned points are the major attraction of UK which usuallyattracts the visitors to visit the country and spend their leisure time. (Šerić, 2013) However, from the critical examination between UK and other tourism destinationswhich consists of China, Mexico and Thailand, it is clearly evident that number of tourist arrivals1
in UK was high (32.6 million) as compared to Mexico (29.1 million) but if we visualize thattable, it is evaluated that the number of arrivals in the UK was low in the year 2014 as comparedto China which stood 55.6 million. Moreover, in addition, UK have cities like London,Edinburgh, Flamingo Land in Yorkshire, British Museum, cultural, technological, andarchaeological achievements, etc (Laws, 2011). These mentioned points are the major touristdestination of UK. Further, from the researchers point of view, it has been evaluated that over 6.7million visitors in the year 2013 have visited British Museum and also the National Gallerywhich is considered as second most popular place to visit in UK.Rank Country Internationaltourismarrivals(2014) Internationaltourismarrivals(2013) Change (2013to 2014 (%) 1France83.7 million83.6 million.12United States74.8 million70.0 million6.83Spain65.0 million60.7 million7.14China55.6 million55.7 million-.15Italy48.6 million47.7 million1.86Turkey39.8 million37.8 million5.37Germany33.0 million31.5 million4.68UnitedKingdom32.6 million31.1 million5.09Russia29.8 million28.4 million5.310Mexico29.1 million24.2 million20.5Table 1: International Tourist Arrivals, 20142
Illustration 1: Average weekly household expenditure in UK(Source: The Headlines: Household Expenditure at a Glance. 2012)From the above diagram, it is clearly inferred that the major expenditure exists in theform of transport, fuel and power and in food and non- alcoholic drinks. Almost more than £60 isspent by an individual in all the above explained points. Health condition of the people is far more better because residents in UK are quite dietconscious and they have less chances of getting ill or so. This expenditure by the residents is fargreater than as compared with countries like Russia, Mexico and Italy.ii) Implications of the differences of Tourist Arrivals and Tourist Receipts in countries Arrival of tourist to a particular country generally increases the income level of thatcountry as people spend more for getting proper convenience (Jacint and Manuel, 2002).Therefore, when tourist arrival increase in a country, more receipts increase for that particularnation. This will further lead to increase in brand image and value for that country.
